UNSPSC 85891828: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pituitary gland using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pituitary gland using iodine 125 (i-125). This intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code DG1099Z

UNSPSC 85891828 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of pituitary gland using iodine 125 (I-125) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services — does not match the code's nominal scope of specialized oncological radiotherapy. The Health System is soliciting a qualified vendor pool across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, and surgical and labor-and-delivery staffing, with proposals due October 7, 2026. This staffing-pool request bears no relationship to HDR brachytherapy of the pituitary gland, suggesting a potential tagging error rather than genuine procurement activity under the code's intended scope.

The mismatch between the code definition and the actual opportunity sourced indicates this Commodity code does not currently support meaningful business development activity for state and local contracting. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify whether opportunities posted under 85891828 align with HDR brachytherapy and related specialized radiation oncology services, as the current evidence does not reflect such procurement.
